2008 Recruits Playing This Weekend

[H-towngreen]

Haltom and SLC will be going at it this weekend. Is anyone planning on making the game to check 4 future NT players? I would like to hear how these guys are looking.

SLC should win easily, don't know if I'll make it or not.

[Green Crazy]

Not going to make that game, but I have a guy a work who goes to every Celina game and gives me updates on Troy Franklin. He said they put him on the O-Line for the first time this past week in certain situations and he was man handling the guys across from him. Grant it this is 3A and most linemen on either side of the ball don't get over 230 lbs., but he still dominated.

Vernon 38 Breckenridge 19

Up 10-6 at the half, Vernon used a pair of big plays early in the third quarter to pull away and coast to the win. Vernon fullback Craig Whiteside finished with 155 yards on 14 carries, including a 55-yarder that jumpstarted the Lions on the first possession of the second half.

After intercepting a Travis Wallis pass defensively, [b]Darien Williams helped the Lions offensively when he connected with Demetrias Murray from 42 yards out to put the Lions up 24-6 with 5:08 left in the third period.

Carroll strikes quickly to overwhelm Haltom

By TRAE THOMPSON

Much like its previous teams, which wrapped up victories by halftime, Southlake Carroll came out and took apart Haltom in the first quarter Friday night. The Dragons (5-1, 3-0 District 5-5A) needed nine plays to go up 28-0, and cruised to a 58-6 victory over the Buffalos at Dragon Stadium.

The Dragons led 51-0 by halftime. It was already their second-most points of the season and eclipsed the 49-0 halftime lead they held against Haltom last year.

"I told you we keep getting better and better," Dragons coach Hal Wasson said. "We still have several guys out, but the guys we've put in have responded well. I'm proud of the way they're bonding together."

The Dragons' victory came without two more starters. Wide receiver Chris Brainard was out for precautionary reasons after being involved in a car wreck on Oct. 4 prior to the Colleyville Heritage game, and linebacker Derek Tomlin was out with a sprained posterior cruciate ligament suffered in the win over Colleyville Heritage. The knee injury can be rehabbed, and Tomlin is expected to be out for three weeks at the most.

Carroll had great field position to start each of its possessions (its worst start was at its 26) and scored touchdowns on its first five possessions. The Dragons added a pair of field goals by sophomore Cade Foster, the second a 42-yarder that gave the Dragons a 41-0 lead with 5:08 left in the first half.

Haltom (1-5, 0-3) punted for the fifth time, and the Dragons returned to score, this time on Tré Newton's 15-yard run that made the score 48-0. Newton, who had four carries on the drive, had 12 carries for 153 yards in the first half and was already replaced by backup Tommy Avers on the Dragons' final possession of the half.

That ended on another Foster field goal for 27 yards.

Haltom scored its touchdown on the first possession of the second half when quarterback Shane Smith hit James Pearson on a 5-yard pass on fourth-and-5. The Buffalos' two-point conversion attempt failed.

The Dragons responded with their final points, which came on Avers' 2-yard run, capping a 13-play 64-yard drive.
